A high school history teacher in Ohio had a great idea: Give kids extra credit for watching some YouTube videos on important topics and then writing about them. And that might have been fine, except the videos were all rightwing propaganda from "PragerU," home of such "educational" lies as "Democrats Did The KKK And History Ended in 1964" and "There was no Southern Strategy." Rebecca Klein explains at HuffPo:

The PragerU videos — with titles such as "Build the Wall," "Why the Right Was Right" and "The Left Ruins Everything" — were assigned to a 10th-grade history class at Maumee High School, along with a series of questions about the videos' "most important messages."

Klein seems to enjoy reminding readers that PragerU isn't exactly a leader in objective education, what with videos titled "There Is No Gender Wage Gap," "How to Steal an Election: Mail-In Ballots," and "Is Islam a Religion of Peace?" (Spoiler alert: No, sir, it is not!) She also notes that the teacher's class website indicates she used the videos for extra credit last year as well. The extra credit assignment asked students to write about how the videos "challenged" students' beliefs, which we suppose was intended as a stab at "critical thinking," although a better way to do that would be to ask students to identify logical fallacies in the videos.

Beyond the fun times at one Ohio school, Klein notes that PragerU is taking advantage of the pandemic to start pushing its materials into schools with a new project called "PragerU Resources for Educators and Parents" or PREP, get it? It launched just a few weeks ago, and offers

study guides with sections such as "Conservatives Are the Real Environmentalists" and "The Ferguson Lie," based on a HuffPost review of the materials.
